madcow Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 One of my bosses came in to work today with a copy of The Rosary Girls by Richard Montanari. It looks a great read but I've never heard of this guy. Has anybody else read any of his books and if so are they any good? The blurb on the back of The Rosary Girls sounds great. Quote
Louiseog Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I read it last year and really enjoyed it. Have put his others on my wishlist Quote
Angel Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I read this one last year and really enjoyed it. Funnily enough I felt sorry for the murderer at the end! Quote
madcow Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 I'll have to see if she'll lend it to me when she has finished. Thanks guys Quote
Maureen Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I'm sure Kell mentioned this someday....... Quote
angerball Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I just finished The Rosary Girls, and quite enjoyed it. It was like your run-of-the-mill serial-killer thriller, yet at the same time it wasn't. I found it such a good read, quite fast-paced, and the characters were quite detailed, with a lot of backstory. It's been a while since I've read a book that had me really hooked on finding out what happened next. I look forward to reading his other books. Quote
Louiseog Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I've now read his other ones, Skin gods and Broken Angels, definitely on my great authors list Quote
madcow Posted November 27, 2007 Author Posted November 27, 2007 I've read the other two as well and really enjoyed them. Quote
angerball Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I've just finished The Skin Gods, and thought it was great! I'll be on the lookout for Broken Angels next time I'm at the library. He's definitely an author to keep an eye on. Quote
Charm Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I was going to start a thread about this author but I was a good girl and did a search first and hey presto! Get me! I have read 'The Rosary Girls', 'The Skin Gods' 'Broken Angels' and the last of that series so far 'Play Dead'. I thought they were absolutely brilliant ... as good as (if not better IMO) than Tess Gerritsen (please form an orderly queue for lynching me ). What I was wondering was, has anyone tried any of his stand alone novels? I have 'Kiss of Evil' 'Deviant Way' and 'The Violet Hour' on my wishlist and would be interested to hear views from anybody who has read any of them. Quote
Louiseog Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Read them all now too and they are great, not seen his other ones though. Off to look! Quote
Angel Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I've read The Rosary Girls and now I've added the others to my wishlist Quote
sparkle1106 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I've read The Rosary Girls and Skin Gods and I have Broken Angels on my TBR pile. Thoroughly enjoyed the two I have already read and would recommend them to anyone who likes this genre. Quote
